In honor of Valentine's Day, I present the Jealousy Cookie , or the Horny Toad Cookie . The more kid-friendly name because this is, after all, a monster cookie with only green M&M's, and everyone knows that the Green Eyed Monster is Jealousy; the black sheep relative of Love. The not-so-kid-friendly name is because most everyone is aware that green M&M's, *ahem*...increase romantic inclinations... Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 cup white sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup crunchy peanut butter |
1 cup no-sugar-added applesauce |
4 1/2 cups quick oats |
12 ounces plain m&m's (green ( measurement is apprx.) |
1/2 cup butterscotch chips |
1 cup rough chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Mix the ingredients in the order given. This is easy to do by hand and you don't need a mixer.
2. The M&M's, chips, and nuts can vary to your preference and only need a stir by hand to incorporate them. Don't let them get mashed by your mixer.
3. Drop by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet.
4. Bake at 350* for 12-15 minutes.
5. Also, you can do these as bar cookies and they are FABULOUS. Spray 9x13 pan with oil, dump the dough in (I used about 3/4 of the recipe) and mash it to an even consistency. Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350*.
